An employee can be outstanding for suggesting improvements that result in greater efficiency, improved service, or cost
savings; for leadership in departmental activities, for the department's goals or forthe goals of the county as a whole.
Outstanding service includes job performance that clearly exceeds requirements.
The Board of Supervisors must discount generalities not supported by specific examples of activities which support the
nomination. Remember, there is no way to know whether specifics are missing by accident or because they do not exist.
If you believe an employee has made an outstanding contribution, give specific examples of what they have done.

Employee Name: Gene Boyce Department:NRADC
Nomination Submitted By: Lt. E. S. Sturdivant Department ;NRADC
Nominator's Signature: 1, Date: 05/07/2012
Reason for Nomination (please be s ic, precise, and definite):
the Jail's Security and Inmate Information Systems Manager, Officer Boyce remains responsible for - training,
iintenance and operational oversight of the most critical IT systems in the Detention, Center and in the last 50 days
has demonstrated himself to be among the most dedicated and tireless members of the Jail staff.
Between April 1 and May 31, 2012, Officer Boyce, in close coordination with the County's ITstaff, personally planned
and executed the Jail's transition from Verizon to Comcast phone service. Encountering significant and unfortunately
Frequent hurdles during thetransition, his persistence and uncompromising commitmentto minimizing the impact
upon the Jail staff was highly evident in every action he took and every report he rendered. Because of his diligence
and "no- quit" attitude, the impact of the transition upon Jail operations was minimized.
Within weeks of the phone transition project, Officer Boyce began planning and coordinating for the first upgrade to
the Detention Center's automated inmate information management system in more than four years. Aware of the
tremendous operational consequences other facilities experienced during similar upgrades, Officer Boyce went to
extreme lengths to ensure thorough pre - testing and familiarizing with the new software. He literally spent days, many
off -duty, personally checking and verifying the observations of others in the test environment. As a result of his
personal preparation, staff training and coordination, the upgrade was completed in superb fashion with far fewer
problems than ever anticipated.
n all, these last several months simply re- confirmed for us what a tremendously talented and totally committed
nember of the staff Officer Gene Boyce remains. Innovative, thorough, and relentless in his pursuit of excellence, he
lemonstrated himself to be a truly exceptional member of the Jail Team and most deserving of this special recognition.
